Game of Thrones (was conflicted about this but the first four seasons were elite level writing and also the rules were super restrictive and I haven’t seen some of the other shows I see a lot of people mentioning like Mad Men, the Leftovers and the Americans)
Scrubs

 

[Listen]

1) Deadwood
2) Justified
3) The Wire
4) It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
5) Breaking Bad
6) The Sopranos
7) The Office
8) The Shield
9) Mad Men
10) Seinfeld

*edit - I don't care that its still running on FXX, Its always Sunny needs to be on this list regardless. That is the one show that is worth bending the rules for.

**edit II - This scene is a prime example of why Deadwood is number one on my list an will possibly never be dethroned.
